Courtois, 21, has been on loan at Atletico Madrid from Chelsea since 2011, and has impressed with his performances as Los Colchoneros won three trophies in the last two seasons.

The Belgium international regularly talks about how happy he is at the in-form La Liga outfit, but in September did claim that he had no fear of battling with Petr Cech for a starting spot at Stamford Bridge, and would likely be doing so next season.

Now Courtois has indicated on radio show El Larguero that his club might look to do business with Chelsea should Valdes leave next summer when his current contract with the Catalan club ends.
